Support for anxiety, grief, trauma, school stress, and life transitions.

Kids, Teens & Young Adult Therapy

You might be here because:

  • your child or teen is struggling with anxiety or overwhelm

  • school, friendships, or transitions feel especially hard right now

  • your child has experienced loss, trauma, or a big life change

  • you’re noticing emotional or behavioral changes and aren’t sure how to help

  • your teen or young adult feels stuck, shut down, or under pressure


What therapy looks like here:

Therapy with youth is fun, creative, supportive, collaborative, and paced to meet each client where they are. Sessions focus on building emotional awareness, coping skills, and a sense of safety and confidence.

With younger clients, therapy may include creative or developmentally appropriate approaches. With teens and young adults, sessions are more conversational while still structured and goal-oriented.


What we help with:

  • anxiety and stress

  • school-related challenges

  • social or peer concerns

  • grief and loss

  • trauma and life transitions

  • emotional regulation

  • self-esteem and identity development


For parents:

Parents are included in the therapy process as clinically appropriate. This may include check-ins, updates, or support in understanding how to best support your child outside of sessions.

The goal is to create a space where your child or teen feels safe to open up, while also ensuring you feel informed and supported.
